Work-Life Balance or Rhythms of Life?
As someone who used to give advice on achieving work-life balance, I was mystified when I read somewhere that “balance” was a myth. What we should aim for is “rhythm”. It got me to thinking: “Have I been wrong this whole time?”
The Unlimited Freelancer: A Review
Mason Hipp and James Chartrand of Freelancefolder.com have written this 200-page guide to turning freelancing from a j*o*b to a business. After devouring the E-book and implementing some of the strategies, I am no longer worried about acquiring more clients than I can handle (a happy problem I have been anticipating and dreading). I also now have a more professional but affordable means of invoicing my clients and bookkeeping. Plus, I can see clearly how I could easily exceed my target monthly income – without working seven days a week.

We covered the following topics:

I don’t know about you, but I’m already having a very Merry Christmas!
It all started when Kelly McCausey, co-founder of Mom Masterminds and an amazing business woman, announced on WAHM Talk Radio and on Twitter that she is granting the wishes of work at home Moms. Not really thinking much about it, I submitted my own 3 wishes. I sent 3 whole wishes, ranging in cost from under $100 to almost $700 – something I had been wanting for months but couldn’t cough up the money for.
Well, what do you know? Kelly helped me get my $700-wish!
